December 29, 2011 - Battle Stadium Guide and Forums edit

The Forum categories have been moved around:
1. We removed the Clubs and Ads categories due to low usage.
2. Role Play has been split into General Role Play and One-on-one categories due to exceptionally high use of the Role Playing section!
3. Bugs and Battle Stadium categories were created thanks to the success of the Bugs thread in the General forum and also the number of people asking me questions about the Battle Stadium! Now Newbies and Experts have a section to collaborate and share their knowledge of the Battle Stadium.

We have a battle guide, written by r_i_p. It's located here. I hope you find it useful, and that it answers some of the questions new battlers have been asking.

Can all people whom this concerns, and also people thinking of setting up some nice new offers please keep this in mind.

Thanks!

Just in time for the holidays, there's a new Water Distiller out which makes your pets look like Candy Canes!

This distiller is available through the South Pole AND the distiller shop in Emestar! The coloration is only available on limited pets, however.

Also, you can now get items at the South Pole every 1 hour instead of 2. The South Pole will be open until Monday night.

In light of this new distiller, the Rainbow Lake has been updated! You shouldn't notice any differences, but let bracken know if you have any problems distilling pets. Thanks for your help!

August 5, 2011 - Sentrion Chronicles

The Sentrion Chronicles is back!
Calling all budding journalists, artists and writers!
Becki needs YOU!

Would you like the chance to work on this exciting new project? I am looking for the following roles:

� 2 News Journalists - who will write on new site developments and events
� 1 Reviewer - their task each week will be to review, or make a guide about a certain aspect of the site (eg. the battle system)
� 1 Travel Writer � this is more of a creative role. Their job is to create articles each week in a travel guide style on a place on the map, say, for example, the halls of Nirvana
� 1 Storywriter (although this person will change) � have a story you want to showcase or wish to write for us? This is your chance for publication! Stories must be about Mythodreas, and come in 5 segments (they must begin and end within these 5 segments). Each segment must be no longer than 1000 words. Once one story is finished, then a new storywriter will take over for 5 weeks, and so on
� Cartoonists � you know those little cartoon strips in newspapers? This is Mythodreas� very own one! Check out previous versions of the Sentrion Chronicles for examples.

Please note that for all the roles stated above you must be an active member here, in order for publications of the Chronicles to be regular and upcoming. To apply, please mail me with the position you are seeking in the title of your message, (eg. �Journalist�), and include a sample of your writing. For storywriters and cartoonists, instead please send me the first instalment of the story, or the full cartoon, obviously still with your job title you are applying for as the title.

I for one, hope this is a resounding success, and I hope that the next time I speak to you, it will be from between the pages of our beloved Mythodreas newspaper!

Many thanks,
Beckithewatermage, editor of the Sentrion Chronicles.

August 4, 2011 - Back to the reality of summer

August 1, 2011 - Battle Stadium Release

***BETA***

Hello and welcome to a new news post! This one will tell you about the Battle Stadium, which is fully operational. If you'll click the link below "Blog Posts" in your left-hand sidebar, we can begin. The battle stadium allows you to fight your pets against training opponents to win stats and battle coins, abbreviated "BC." You can see how many BC you have by looking next to your ZP in the top right-hand corner.

Before you fight, you'll want to visit the armory, which is available by going to Zetalopolis/Mythopolis, or clicking the link here. The armory will allow you to equip/unequip weapons and armor to your pet. Each of the weapons has a level, and you will only be able to equip weapons to your pet which are of your pets' level or lower.

What happens when your pet runs out of health? That's a good question! Currently the only way to regain health is to visit the Shining River every 1/2 hour, which will either heal your pets random amounts or give out a healing potion.

At the moment the battle stadium is in Beta. That means several things. First, there are no trainers. Currently the ways to gain stats include random events and while fighting in the battle stadium. Proper methods of training will be implemented a bit later, along with other exciting features not strictly related to the Battle Stadium. Second, there is currently no where to spend your BC. Don't worry! We'll have a special shop soon. Third, there are only three opponents. Again, don't worry about this too much, as we'll have more soon! Just fight, play around, and be sure to post on the forums (General, Help, Suggestions) or MythoMail me (bracken) if you have any suggestions/issues/comments.

Have fun!

July 31, 2011 - New Layout!

I'm sure you've seen the new layout we released today. I hope you like it! I know of a few issues (mainly with the footer) that still appear in Internet Explorer. I hope that's a wake-up call to all of you still using IE that it's time to switch to Firefox or Chrome!

If you see any other issues, especially with certain pages, be sure to post on the "Is something broken" thread in the General forum, or send me a MythoMail so we can get it fixed.

Stick around - more awesome things are happening tomorrow!
